RING TRAVELER.

Application filed June 4, 1921.

To all whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, PHILIP C. WENT- WORTH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Providence, county of Providence, State of RhodeIsland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in RlngTravelers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to ring travelers for use in ring spinning ortwisting and particularly to the construction of such a device in suchmanner as to avoid or eliminate the loading of the traveler by lint orfly or other wise.

My invention contemplates the construc-' tion of a traveler which in itsoperation will avoid this loading and thus maintain the traveler at itsdesired weight, thus making clearing or cleaning unnecessary .as mytraveler at all times remains clean? The construction and operation ofmy traveler, together with a selected embodiment which well illustratesthe principles involved, is described and illustrated in theaccompanying specification and drawings, and the characteristic featuresof novelty particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Throughout the specification and drawings like reference characters areemployed to indicate corresponding parts, and in the drawings:

Figs. I and II and III, respectively, are side, end and top views of atraveler in accordance with my invention.

Fig. IV is a diagrammatic view illustratin the position of the traveleron the ring regative to the spindle, and

Fig. V a fragmentary view of a ring with traveler positioned thereon asin operatlon.

I have shown in the drawings a standard type of traveler comprising acenter or circle portion 1 and a terminal or end portion or horns 2. Thecircle portion is provided with one or more annularly disposed ventopenings 3 therethrough the efi'ect of which is to permit a draftdirectly into the traveler itself and substantially transverse to thecircle or bow portion 1, over which the fibres .of the'load tend todrape themselves in their "normal accumulating effect, and this'draftupon striking the fibres of the load at this videdwith annularlydisposed round openings.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of a witness. a
